Forecasts

Grazinginthegrass (2/1), Bush Tracker (4/1), Warrior (9/2), Quasimodo (11/2), Hoedspruit (13/2), Perfection (7/1), Mount Anderson (14/1), Blonde Act (20/1), Peace In Our World (33/1), Find Me Unafraid (33/1)

GRAZINGINTHEGRASS looks to have narrowly the best claims but has little room for error. Bush Tracker has the best credentials of the rest, while Warrior also demands a closer look.
